I’d suggest you join just one or two forums maximum (I’m only a member of one in my market), then provide value for them just as you would any other community.
Note: Look for forums where you have the ability to have a signature in the area beneath your posts. This is a small promotional box where you can plug your blog or site. Just look around the forum before you join and see if any of the posts have a box like that at the bottom. Also, make sure that the forum is busy and vibrant (lots of threads and responses).
Now then, just before I go
into some great whatsapp number list methods for use on forums, remember that your focus should be on providing value rather than promoting yourself. Most self-promotional style posts will be removed from the forums as they’ll look and sound like adverts. Instead, use your forum signature to promote yourself. This signature follows you everywhere on the forum, so will appear beneath all the great content you’re going to provide.
Here are some great ways to add value to a forum in your market:
you’re really allowed is that promo box, so be sure to use it, while providing great ideas, tips, tools and/or reviews for the users of your chosen forum.
Do this (consistently) in a forum that’s related to your niche or market and you’ll start to get a following to your blog. Eventually, you’ll be able to post to your blog and get loads of readers and comments without needing to promote yourself much elsewhere, but until then, put some effort into showing off your blogging wares.
Bonus Techniques
Just as a quick bonus, I wanted to include a couple of quick things you can do to give your blog a better chance of getting visitors from the search engines.
The first is to get your site listed in plenty of online directories. Directories used to be a bigger part of the search engine optimisation (SEO) process but they’re still useful for getting links back to your site.
Personally, I prefer to use a service that will do all the listings for me. For this, I use (and recommend) Directory Maximizer.
The team at Directory Maximizer
basically list your blog or site in over 1400 online directories for a low fee, which gives you lots of links back to your blog (which is good for ranking better in Google as you’re seen as more of an authority). This is good whether your blog is brand new or been going for a while. I’d suggest the monthly option for directory submissions, where they submit you to 100 directories per month, as this looks more natural to the search engines.
My second top tip for you is to write blog posts using titles that people are already searching for but that don’t have much competition.
I could go into massive detail on this one
as it can get quite complicated… However, I’m going to keep things simple and brief here so that you can start applying this quickly.

Here are some great ways to add value to a forum in your market:- Instead of writing a blog post and posting it to your site, why not post it to a related forum instead, with a link in the signature area that goes back to your blog?
- Comment on threads where you can provide help/support to the original poster (OP) and don’t hold back on your knowledge.
- Post videos or other interesting items that you find that are related to your market, and then start a conversation about them. You can see an example of this that I posted on The Warrior Forum.

Here are the steps to take:
- Go to the Google Keyword Tool and use it to search for phrases that people in your market are looking for. For an in-depth tutorial on this, watch this video on YouTube.
- Once you find a suitable phrase, write a post that helps people who are searching for that topic.
- the exact phrase you found using the Google Keyword Tool.
- Make sure that the post uses the phrase you found at least two or three times in the main body of the text.
- Also include the exact phrase you found in the keywords of the post. For this, make sure you have a plugin like Yoast SEO installed on your blog.
- Go to Fiverr.com and get a few people to bookmark your new post on lots of the social bookmarking sites. To search Fiverr for the exact people you need for this, click here (I’ve done the search work for you). Each person will only cost $5 and they can do as many as 100 social bookmarks for you.
- Keep an eye on the search engines by typing in your phrase and seeing if you come up on the first page of search engine results.
